So ... this is what all of the fuss is about. The description I've heard is that its a chat list where people actually give a shit, or at least make more of a pretense to.

I'm not sure if thats better or worse yet.

Not a very good introduction, but bear with, its late.. and I've got a lot of clinic reading to do before tomorrow. I know that I don't really have to: its not like I'm anywhere near competent enough to actually be of much technical use, but I feel like the clinic director is looming over me, waiting for me to screw up so he can fail me and feel vindicated.

Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but you didn't hear it from me :-)

I geuss a bit of a bio couldn't hurt:

I'm almost 20, and a student at Harvey Mudd College in LA county. I live in East dorm, which holds some meaning for at least a large subset of the people I talk to anymore.

And, as seen above, I'm a big fat dork :-)

I thought I was a good person, but my "friends" are determined to prove to me that I'm actually pure evil. Well.. I *did* spend 2.5 fruitless hours today trying to scam Best Buy out of >$600. It would have worked to, if I hadn't let my guard down and assumed the man I was talking to was dumb enough to fall for the scheme ( the original plan being to go for the cashier ) just because he said I was pretty.

Oh yea, and I'm a sucker for compliments and attention.. but really, who isn't?

Its wierd.. typing all this is making me lonely .. I think I'm going to leave now and hang out with whoever it is that being loud in the lounge..
